6. Implementation
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> WEDNESDAY 2 is implemented in lnterlisp-D and runs on a Xerox 1186. The idiom recognition ability was easily integrated into the system. The performance is very satisfying, in particular with regard to the flexibility present in Italian. Around the parser a rich environment has been built. Besides allowing easy editing and graphic inspecting of resulting structures, it allows interaction with the agenda and exploration of heuristics in order to drive the multiprocessing mechanism of WEDNESDAY 2.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1">  This environment constitutes a basic resource for exploring cognitive aspects, complementary to laboratory experiments with humans.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> At present we are also working on an implementation of a generator that includes the ability to produce idioms, based on the same data structure and principles as the parser.</Paragraph>
